Hi, Bev. Have you had your vitamin D levels checked? You may possibly benefit from adding magnesium, but as your health problems are complex please check with your health care provider before adding any supplements. It may well be worth working with a dietician too to help you work out a healthy eating plan. Fuel is so very important for our mental and physical well-being!

there is a forum on HU that is really about problems with B12 absorption.

B12 deficiency and absorption problems are generally not very well understood by GPs or medics in general and are often undertreated - so may be that you need more B12 than you are being given. To me it sounds as if you are probably aren't getting the amount of B12 that you really need but if someone was using the normal test for B12 deficiency they wouldn't necessarily see this in the test results.

Please take a look at the PAS forum
